1. Put Diaper Rash Cream on Pimples
Diaper rash cream is formulated to take away irritation and calm redness, so it goes to follow that it will work on zits. All you have to do is dab a tiny dot of diaper rash cream on the problem area and watch it do its work. This trick is so effective that you might even see the results right before your very eyes.
2. Wash Your Face with Dandruff Shampoo
Dandruff shampoo doesn’t know the difference between the skin on your scalp and the skin on the rest of your body. Experts say that if you have really dry, flaky skin, you can use dandruff shampoo in place of your regular cleanser a couple of times each month to help alleviate the problem.

3. Wear Vaseline under Your Perfume to Make It Last All Day
OK, this isn’t really skincare, but it has to do with your skin so I’m including it. Perfume tends to fade as the day goes by, but you want it last until you hit the sack at night. Smear a small bit of Vaseline on your pulse points before spritzing on your scent and you can get just that. Perfume needs something to adhere to and it will only cling to skin for a certain amount of time. Spraying it on Vaseline gives it something stronger to hold on to.
4. Hemorrhoid Cream is like Magic for Puffy Eyes
You don’t have to tell anyone you do this, but it really works! Hemorrhoid cream is formulated to combat inflammation so it makes sense that it can quell the bags under your eyes. Gently dab a bit of the cream into the puffy area, being careful not to get it into your eyes. Easy, enough, right?
5. Stave off Itching with Toothpaste
Is your skin covered in itchy bug bites? It happens, but you don’t have to suffer. Smear a small dab of toothpaste on the bite and the itch should disappear. You want the regular type of toothpaste, not all the fancy ones on the market today. Try it – you might find out it’s the best secret you’ve ever learned!

6. Tighten the Skin on Your Face with Pepto Bismol
This medicine is for stomach issues, but experts say it makes a fantastic facial mask. The ingredients in the med help tighten and tone the skin on your face, making it look younger and fresher. Simply smear it all over, let it dry, and then rinse well with warm water.
7. Skip the Expensive Facial Cloths and Use Baby Wipes Instead
They are virtually the same thing, so there’s no reason to spend the money on facial wipes when you can just grab a baby wipe instead. They are way cheaper and do the same job. Most are created for sensitive baby skin so you don’t have to worry about them drying out your face.

Dhara: I meant 'eyes'
Splashhhh: Interesting
Sara: I'm not choosing anything for anyone, people choose to do what they want. I think it's hilarious that you're making such a big deal out of lime juice when the majority of people put all kinds of funky stuff on their bodies! Just look at the ingredients in most commercial shampoos, condioners, deodorants, makeup, perfumes, hair styling aids, sunscreen, manicures, pedicures, tattoos, weird piercings, plastic surgery, tanning, bleach, I honestly don't know where to stop. All these things are a health hazard in one way or another but I don't see people stopping anytime soon. Really do a little research into the ingredients of these products. Women can choose to listen to me or not, I really don't care..........
Splashhhh: Genuois!
Sara: Honey, I really don't know you or give a damn what you think. It's a free country and if a woman wants to tell about something that's worked for her then she can with or without your approval.
Bella: All these tips she give is just an idea. If someone think it not useful or harm, just leave it. People can think what is good or not good for them self and anyone is dependent enough to make their choice weather to follow or not. No harsh words.
Dhara: Be careful about using hemorrhoid cream for puffy eyes! Make sure no cortisone in it! Cortisone could damage your eyelids permanently!!
peony: Great
Jennifer: Oh and I won't be doing any of these suggestions. Especially baby wipes on my face, they would burn the crap out of my face
Uzo: I'm about to try d lime... Sounds wonderful to me
